Re-imagining Resettlement Practice through Arts-based Methods
Professor Sara Kindon
Victoria University of Wellington

Dunedin Public Art Gallery
Migration, particularly forced migration, and resettlement can expose people to experiences which may be hard to articulate verbally or in writing, particularly if the vehicle of communication is in a second or third language. Yet finding ways to enable people to process and express challenging experiences can aide in their resettlement by supporting greater resilience and wellbeing.
This talk from Professor Sara Kindon of Victoria University of Wellington, who is the Centre for Global Migrations’ 2020 Visiting Scholar, draws on the use of arts-based methods to explore ways in which working beyond words can tap into hidden stories and help us to re-imagine future resettlement possibilities.
